1. Overview 1.1 Data product specification title Administrative Boundaries Product Description

1.2 Reference date November 2019

1.3 Informal description of the data product The Administrative Boundaries dataset is comprised of eight themes:

• Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Boundaries 2011


• Electoral Boundaries

• Local Government Areas (LGA)

• Suburbs/Localities

• Wards

• State Boundaries

• Town Points

The ABS Boundaries 2011 theme includes eight layers:

• Urban Centre and Localities / Section of State

• ABS Mesh Blocks (MB) 2011

• Significant Urban Areas (SUA)

• Indigenous Localities (ILOC)

• Indigenous Areas (IARE)

• Indigenous Regions (IREG)

• Remoteness Areas (RA)

• Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA)

The ABS Boundaries 2016 theme includes five layers:

• 2016 ABS Mesh Blocks and Statistical Areas

• 2016 ABS Indigenous Regions, Areas and Locations

• 2016 Urban Centre and Localities / Section of State / Significant Urban Areas

• 2016 Remoteness Areas (RA)

• 2016 Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA)

The Electoral Boundaries theme comprises two layers:

• Commonwealth Electoral Boundaries (CEB)

• State/Territory Electoral Boundaries (SEB)


PAGE 8

The ABS boundaries data themes are sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and is part of their Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) boundaries. The ASGS brings all the regions for which the ABS publishes statistics within the one framework and is used by the ABS for the collection and dissemination of geographically classified statistics since 1 July 2011. The ABS release a new version of their boundaries for each census and each version is now included in PSMA‘s Administrative Boundaries as a theme. The Mesh Blocks released are used in building all ABS boundaries. SEIFA is not a boundary dataset, but provides socio-economic indexes for the ABS statistical areas.

The other dataset themes are based on government data provided quarterly by the appropriate authorities. The Commonwealth and State/Territory Governments collect data to delineate the areas covered by each tier of government within Australia. They also provide data for the urban and non-urban areas within their jurisdictions.

The Administrative Boundaries dataset is used as a basis for other datasets provided by PSMA Australia.

3. Data Product Identification 3.1 Title Administrative Boundaries

3.2 Alternate titles Administrative Boundaries for Australia

Admin Boundaries

3.3 Abstract The Administrative Boundaries for Australia (an ISO 19131 compliant description) provides an optimised quality geometric description and a set of basic attributes of the Australian administrative boundaries. The Administrative Boundaries product is created from multiple data sources including jurisdiction Administrative Boundaries data which is revised regularly and supplied in varying formats and at different levels of quality.

3.4 Purpose Administrative Boundaries data serves as a foundation for several other datasets provided by PSMA as well as being a valuable dataset in its own right. The common geometric base allows users to apply the spatial data to the full extent of coverage. This common infrastructure facilitates data integration with supplementary data supplied in the future.

3.5 Topic category Polygons and points defined by coordinate spatial data (latitude and longitude) with associated textual metadata.

3.6 Spatial resolution The spatial resolution varies from Mesh Blocks (based on population density) that could be as small as several hundred square metres to whole states.

3.7 Geographic description The Administrative Boundaries dataset covers the addresses within the complete national geography of Australia (AUS). The Bounding Box for this data is as follows;

North bounding latitude: -8˚

South bounding latitude: -45˚

East bounding longitude: 168˚

West bounding longitude: 96˚


PAGE 13

This area covers the land masses of Australia, including External Territories and offshore islands (Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and Norfolk Island).

The spatial domain is described by the polygon:

Geographic extent name

AUSTRALIA INCLUDING EXTERNAL TERRITORIES – AUS – Australia – Australia

The States and Territories within Australia are represented by the following:

State or Territory Name Abbreviation Character Code

New South Wales NSW 1 (or 01)

Victoria VIC 2 (or 02)

Queensland QLD 3 (or 03)

South Australia SA 4 (or 04)

Western Australia WA 5 (or 05)

Tasmania TAS 6 (or 06)

Northern Territory NT 7 (or 07)

Australian Capital Territory ACT 8 (or 08)

Other Territories OT 9 (or 09)

Note: PSMA has aligned Other Territories (OT) with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). It includes the Territory of Christmas Island, Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Jervis Bay Territory and more recently the inclusion of Norfolk Island. OT does not include any other external Territory.

4.2 Feature-based application schema (data model) The Administrative Boundaries Data Model Diagram is set out in Appendix A.

4.3 Data dictionary

Feature-based feature catalogue

This section provides the feature catalogue in support to the application schema. The tables are provided in Appendix B. Spatial attributes are added to the feature catalogue in the same manner as other attributes for completeness and conformance to the application schema.

Note: All Persistent Identifiers that do not identify spatial geometry in the Integrated Data Model are unique nationally and are preceded by the state abbreviation e.g. LGA_PID = NSW12345678.

All Persistent Identifiers for spatial geometry are only unique within the associated dataset and within the state they reside e.g. LGA_POLYGON_PID = 1234567.

The following table refers to all tables in the Feature Catalogue below.

Column Abbreviation Description

Name Name The name of the column in the Integrated Database

5.2 Temporal reference system Gregorian calendar

5.3 Reference system scope The spatial objects and temporal collection periods for the Administrative Datasets


PAGE 19

6. Data Quality 6.1 Positional accuracy Positional accuracy is an assessment of the closeness of the location of the spatial objects in relation to their true positions on the earth’s surface.

The positional accuracy includes:

• a horizontal accuracy assessment

• a vertical accuracy assessment

The horizontal and vertical positional accuracy are the assessed accuracy after all transformations have been carried out.

The relative spatial accuracy of Administrative Boundaries reflects that of the source data. The ABS data has accuracy from +/- 25 metres in Urban Areas to +/- 50 metres in Rural Areas.

Note: The accuracy of geometric representation is given by the difference between the position of the geometric representation of an object and its absolute position, as measured with respect to the geodetic network.

6.2 Coordinates Referencing the GDA 2020 Datum From the November 2019 publication, spatial features are available referencing the GDA 2020 datum. These coordinates are produced using a coordinate transformation from GDA94 using the following parameters.

shift_x = 0.06155,

shift_y = -0.01087,

shift_z = -0.04019,

rotate_x = -0.0394924,

rotate_y = -0.0327221,

rotate_z = -0.0328979,

scale_adjust = -0.009994

6.3 Attribute accuracy Attribute accuracy is an assessment of the reliability of values assigned to features in the dataset in relation to their true ‘real world’ values.

Key attributes (name and the unique identifier) have a high degree of accuracy in the order of 99.09%. Other attributes derived from the processing of supplied data may have a lower degree of

accuracy but less than previously released data. All attribute accuracies are dependent on the data accuracy supplied to PSMA.

For this product, feature and attribute accuracy is a measure of the degree to which the features and attribute values of spatial objects agree with the information on the source material. The allowable error in attribute accuracy was previously up to 5%.

A precise attribute accuracy assessment may not always be possible. In these cases an intuitive estimate of the expected attribute accuracy or the likely maximum error based on previous experience is acceptable.

6.4 Logical consistency Logical consistency is a measure of the degree to which data complies with the technical specification. The allowable error in logical consistency previously ranged from 3% to 5%. The test procedures are a mixture of software scripts and onscreen visual checks.

The data structure has been tested for conformance with the data model. The following have been tested and confirmed to conform:

• File names

• Attribute names

• Attribute lengths

• Attribute types

• Attribute domains

• Attribute order in file

• Object type

• Compulsory attributes populated.

6.5 Topological consistency Topological consistency is the measure of how features spatially relate to other features within and across themes. Topological inconsistencies are identified using a combination of automated rules, and visual analysis. Where topological inconsistencies are identified they are notified back to the supplier organisation for remediation at source. Some minor topological inconsistencies are corrected during product processing using automated rules. The level of topological consistency is dependent on the data supplied to PSMA.

During product processing there is no attempt to enforce topological consistency across state and territory borders. Cross border topological consistency is a complex issue and PSMA continues to engage the governments of Australia to improve the topological consistency of spatial datasets across these borders.

6.6 Completeness Completeness is an assessment of the extent and range of the dataset with regard to completeness of coverage, completeness of classification and completeness of verification.

7. Data Capture All spatial data is supplied by the jurisdictions (Commonwealth, States and Territories Governments) through various agencies.

For each theme, the data is supplied by the appropriate agency as described below.

7.1 ABS Boundaries themes The digital ABS main Structures Boundaries are updated every five years for each national Census. The ABS carries out the update process to these themes using the other PSMA national datasets.

7.2 Electoral Boundaries theme The digital Electoral Boundaries and their legal identifiers have been supplied by the Electoral Commission from each state and territory as well as the Australian Electoral Commission. These boundaries undergo re-distribution depending on population of the electorate before each election.

7.3 Local Government Areas theme The digital Local Government Areas and their legal identifiers have been derived from the cadastre data from each Australian state and territory jurisdiction.

7.4 Suburbs/Localities theme The digital Suburb/Locality boundaries and their legal identifiers have been derived from the cadastre data from each Australian state and territory jurisdiction.

7.5 State Boundaries theme The digital State boundaries and their legal identifiers have been derived from the cadastre data from each state and territory jurisdiction.

7.6 Town Points theme The Town Points and their associated attributes are sourced from the ABS. Cadastral parcels sourced from the state and territory jurisdictions are used to assist with Town Point Alignment where appropriate. This theme is not currently maintained.

7.7 Data capture scope Data for changed objects within the current release time period.

9.3 Organisation responsible for delivery PSMA was formed by the governments of Australia in 1993 to collate, transform and deliver their geospatial data as national datasets. PSMA’s establishment reflected the desire of Australian governments to work together to establish a national location information infrastructure to advance the emerging information economy. The organisation’s first major initiative was to support the 1996 Census through the provision of Australia’s first digital map at a national street-level.

The value of PSMA’s datasets is in the richness of the data, which enables a broad range of innovations and applications. To support the use of this data in business-ready formats, PSMA makes our data available to the market through a value-added reseller and integrator network. Our network includes traditional geospatial specialists and data engineers as well as software developers, marketing service providers, systems integrators and consultancies.

From February 2016, the Australian Government will make Administrative Boundaries available through data.gov.au under open data terms.

ABS Mesh Blocks (MB) and Statistical Areas

Mesh blocks are spatial areas that contain an approximate predetermined number of dwellings (usually between 30 – 60 dwellings). They are designed to be able to aggregate into several spatial units, this allows readily comparative statistics between geographical areas without unacceptable risks of accidental disclosure. Mesh blocks are intended to be the future basic spatial unit for statistical and administrative geography.

Mesh Blocks and other statistical areas have been defined to a spatial unit called the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) by the ABS. The following is an extract from the ABS document: 1270.0.55.001 Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS): Volume 1 – Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas. This document can be accessed by following the link http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/[email protected]/Latestproducts/0A9EA8C0BC932712CA257801000C6478?opendocument

The ASGS brings together all the regions on which the ABS publishes statistics within the one framework. It was first used for the 2011 Census of Population and Housing and progressively introduced into other ABS data collections from 1 July 2011. A new set of ABS boundaries have been released for the 2016 Census. For support and further information about the implementation of the ASGS, please refer to the ABS website at http://www.abs.gov.au/geography or email [email protected].

Urban Centre and Localities (UCL) / Section of State /Significant Urban Areas

The Urban Centres and Localities/Section of State (UCL/SOS) structure is intended primarily for the dissemination of statistics from the Census of Population and Housing. The structure represents areas of concentrated urban development. It consists of Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1s) aggregated together to form regions defined according to population density and other criteria. UCLs aggregate to cover only part of the State or Territory.

The Significant Urban Area (SUA) structure of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) is used to disseminate a broad range of ABS social and demographic statistics. It represents concentrations of urban development with a population of 10,000 or more using whole Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2s). They do not necessarily represent a single Urban Centre, as they can represent a cluster of related Urban Centres with a core urban population over 10,000. They can also include related peri-urban and satellite development and the area into which the urban development is likely to expand.

Remoteness Areas (RA) The RAs are based on the Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA+) developed in 2000 by the then Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care (DHAC) and the National Key Centre for Social Applications of GIS (GISCA). GISCA is now incorporated into the Australian Population and Migration Research Centre (APMRC).

The ASGS SA1 boundaries are overlayed onto the ARIA+ grid and an average score is calculated based upon the grid points that are contained within each SA1. The resulting average score determines which remoteness category is allocated to each SA1. Further criteria are used by the ABS to refine RAs. More information about RAs can be found at the ABS website - http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/subscriber.nsf/0/A277D01B6AF25F64CA257B03000D7EED/$File/1270055005_july%202011.pdf

Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) The Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) is a product developed by the ABS that ranks areas in Australia according to relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage. SEIFA 2011 is based on Census 2011 data and SEIFA 2016 based on Census 2016. SEIFA consists of four indexes, each focussing on a different aspect of socio-economic advantage and disadvantage and being a summary of a different subset of Census variables.

SEIFA 2011 and SEIFA 2016 are aligned with the ASGS and the base unit for analysis is the SA1s. Note that not all SA1s have SEIFA information. More information about 2011 SEIFA can be obtained from the ABS website - http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/subscriber.nsf/0/22CEDA8038AF7A0DCA257B3B00116E34/$File/2033.0.55.001%20seifa%202011%20technical%20paper.pdf More information about 2016 SEIFA can be obtained from the ABS website - http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/subscriber.nsf/0/756EE3DBEFA869EFCA258259000BA746/$File/SEIFA%202016%20Technical%20Paper.pdf
